 * Objective:** Students will beto analyze whether the original goals of the French Revolution were met during the Reign of Terror.
 * Instructions to instructor:** Display each of the pie charts below to the students. Charts 1 and 2 should be displayed simultaneously and discussed; then, chart 3 should be displayed and discussed. Use the questions provided with each chart to guide discussion in the class. As you progress through each chart, students should be working toward the objective through their discussion.

Guiding Questions for Analysis of Charts 1 and 2
1. Based on the charts, what is the major disparity that you see between land ownership and population in France? 2. What group in French society do you believe would be most unhappy pre-Revolution and why? 3. Which group do you think would be most likely to lead a Revolution? 4. What might this group hope to change about French society through Revolution?

1. Based on other activities the have been completed on the French Revolution, what was the Reign of Terror? (if students have not completed other activities on the French Revolution, you can simply define what the Reign of Terror was for students. The purpose of the Reign of Terror was to cleanse France of domestic threats, or anti-revolutionaries.) 2. Based on our discussion of Charts 1 and 2, who do you think would be the group to most likely lead the Reign of Terror? Who would be the most likely target of the Reign of Terror?
 * Then, as an introduction or preview to Chart 3, have students answer the following questions:**

Guiding Questions for Analysis of Chart 3
1. What portion of the population was most targeted during the Reign of Terror? 2. How is this different from what you predicted? 3. Why did you originally make those predictions? (Students should think back to population/land disparities discussed while looking at Charts 1 & 2). 4. Based on what is displayed on this chart and our class discussion, do you think the original goals of the French Revolution were met?
